I would wrap you in "I Love You's"
tuck you in pocket, safe
from stale beer and cigarettes,
and celebrate your birthday with you,
instead of having to bury you.
Author notes
July 3, 2003---my brother was killed on his way home from a bar. We buried him on his birthday July 6th. I would take that night back if I could. 30 words exactly.

AWW,
I don't know what to say...I'm so sorry for your lost
I had a friend pass away in similar circumstances
but a brother is something different.
A heartfelt write wonderfully penned
All the best to you in the contest
Ken
